It drives a low-profile center-tapped trans- ♦ Isolated DC-to-DC Power Supply for PCMCIA former primary from a 5V or 3.3V DC power supply. The Applications secondary can be wound to provide any isolated posi- ♦ 450kHz Minimum Switching Frequency tive or negative voltage at powers up to 750mW. ♦ Ultra-Low Input Supply Current Ripple The MAX845 consists of an oscillator followed by a tog- gle flip-flop. The flip-flop generates two 50% duty-cycle ♦ Single +5V or +3.3V Supply square waves, which are complementary at half the ♦ oscillator frequency (450kHz, min). These two signals 5µW Low-Power Shutdown Mode drive the ground-referenced N-channel power switch- ♦ 8-Pin SO and µMAX Packages es. Internal circuitry ensures break-before-make action between the two switches. ♦ Low Output Ripple Permits Miniature OutputCapacitors A low-power shutdown disables both the switches and the oscillator, reducing power consumption. An evalua- tion kit (MAX845EVKIT-MM) is available to evaluate low- profile 5V 40mA and 5V 100mA applications. ________________________Applications_______________Ordering Information PCMCIA Modem Cards PARTTEMP.
